Not all comedies are created the same in the world of Japanese anime. The best romantic comedies take a specific kind of balance. The humor can't come at the cost of taste and kindness, and certainly not the romance. The romance still needs to be sweet, so the comedy is often a clever comedy of errors between flawed yet sincere characters.

Comedic situations tend to provide plenty of plot fodder which keeps the couple from getting together too soon. And even if they do, there's plenty of storytelling to keep the series from feeling formulaic. Whether the humor comes from a rivals-to-lovers arc or delightful opposites attract, well-written sweet rom coms will always be in fashion. Overall, the cutest, most charming romance anime are those with strong humor, an innocent tone, and a general lack of serious drama, making for a light, lovely viewing experience.

Children of the 80's and 90's may remember "Sylvanian Families" (known as "Calico Critters" in the US). Sylvanian Families are small figures of various animals including rabbits, bears, and cats, that are known for their fuzzy, flocked texture. Although Sylvanian Families had their heyday decades ago, they've remained popular in Japan all this time.

Japan's love of Sylvanian Families may be precisely why author Kuko Okano decided to create a manga titled Gyaru ga Sirubania Famiri wo Dekiai Shitara, which can be roughly translated to "What if a Gal Doted on Sylvanian Families?" It is more commonly referred to by its nickname Galvania by fans online.

Not all romances are pining, unrequited disasters, and love at first sight isn't always the go-to for storytelling. The friends-to-lovers arc is one of the more realistic relationship dynamics. It can be boring if there isn't enough character development, tension, and conflict, but there are many anime titles that carry the relationship off perfectly.

Sometimes a couple will be friends since childhood and may have lost touch over time and then reconnect. They may be such best friends that they try to deny their feelings out of fear that they won't be returned or that the relationship won't work, and they will lose the friendship. Either way, a friends-to-lovers arc makes for a great, convincing romance.
